Fortress of Owls won the Hugo Award. Conjured by a wizard to fight an ancient and magical war, Tristen is a man without a past, and a warrior of great skill. The keen blade of his sword, marked Illusion on one side and Truth on the other, has already helped him win the throne of Ylesuin for the young king Cefwyn. As reward, Tristen has been made Duke of Amefel. Tristen's rule in Amefel is blessed with two extraordinary friends: one a stalwart soldier, the other a young rebel with royal blood. But the scarlet banners of war are unfolding again, and far more than a kingdom is at stake. Now Tristen must take up the sword--as well as the Sihhë magic he has forsworn. He is destiny's own, created a combatant in a far older and more fearsome conflict than any ever imagined by mere mortal man. And he is about to do battle once more.
